The Last Preperations

Shinkiro

*the next day.*

“Trixie?”

“Yes?” She took a moment to stop eating her peanut butter crackers, giving me a quizzical look.

“I’ve had an idea in my head for the last while, it might sound crazy, but I want to try and bring something from my dream into reality.”

“That sounds ridiculous. What do you want to bring out, a milk shake?”

“...Tempting, but no. To put things in perspective, something has been entering my dreams. I want a piece of whatever magic it's using, so I can maybe figure out how to keep it out of my dreams.”

“Something has been entering your dreams?”

“Yes. What it is, I don’t know.” Blatant lies, of course, I knew it was Luna, but I doubt Trixie would be willing to help if she knew who it was. “And it’s stressing my nymphs out at night when it happens. Can you help?”

“Trixie can try. What do you need?”

“What I had in mind, was to somehow capture a piece of its magic the next time it entered my dream. Unfortunately, I have no clue how to do that, and I was hoping you might have some clue as to how I might achieve that.”

“Trixie knows a syphoning spell, it’s meant to absorb magic in case a spell goes out of control. Trixie knows how to store magic too, so that won’t be a problem either. Just one problem with your plan, how will Trixie know when to cast it?”

“Hivemind. I can still communicate with my children while I’m asleep, so I can get one of them to tell you when.” And then, I will have the last piece I need for for what I have planned.


Sugars POV

That motherbucker! This was worse then when she gagged me with that slime! at least with that, I was able to make some noise. the only good thing was that when she had stopped… holding me, I regained control of my limbs. but the worst part? I was forced to watch, and feel, myself comply...

“I’m back!” Joy. I turned around to see her entering the room, a smirk on her face. “Whats the matter? Did I… render you speechless?” Oh how I wish I could groan at her attempt to make fun of my situation. She sat down beside me, seeming to take joy in how I wanted to scream at her so badly, yet couldn't make a peep. “Look, I’m sorry about yesterday… Satō, you are no longer silenced, but no yelling… or swearing.”

“About time, you lay about. I swear, if I could would be screaming my head off at you so loud that the guards back in Baltomare would come looking for the disturbance.”

“Awww, how cute!”

“Don’t make me start throwing stuff, because there’s always the chance I might ‘accidentally’ hit you.”

“I have telekinesis, you argument is invalid. Anyway, Trixie will be in here soon to help me get a spell ready. Something has been getting inside my head and I want a piece of it.”

“Oh? What was it?” Something’s been messing with Shinkiro?

“I’ll tell you later, after I get a piece of the bugger.” I just groaned.

This was going to be a looong night.


*That night, shinkiros dreamscape*

*shinkiro*

I sighed. Another void? this was getting repetitive. The first thing I did was feel around until I found my link to Peeko, and told her to stand by to relay the signal.

This time, I actually felt her enter my dream, no doubt because she met the same amount of resistance as last time with her chosen method, believing she was entering undetected again.

“I know you’re there, Luna.”

“Your hive mind is proving quite bothersome when trying to enter undetected.” She stepped out of the void and into full view.

“I try.” I couldn't help but smirk.

“You certainly do.”

“Why do you insist on coming back here anyway?”

“I am not sure, there is just something about you that sparks my interest. Perhaps it is your unique dreams.”

“They’ve been pretty bland lately.”

“I have noticed.” She glanced at the void around us. “Maybe I can help with that?”

“It’s worth a shot.” ’do it now’ Her horn lit up as the void around us started turning green and blue. The spinning vortex of color formed a grass covered hill with a single tree at the top. I saw the trailer down at the bottom of the hill and a road that went into the forest. “Not bad.” She looked curious about something but seemed to dismiss it.

“I try.” She said with a smug grin. “Shall we have a look inside?”

“By all means.” Walking down to the trailer I pushed the door open and walked into…

My house!?

Right, this is a dream. “I was not expecting that.”

“This is part of your memories. Care to tell me where are we right now?”

“Apparently my previous life.”

“Your… Previous life? Explain.”

“I died.” Luna didn’t seem to buy into it at all. Understandable. “Seriously? Ever heard of reincarnation?”

“I am not familiar with it, no.”

“Okay… basically, I died, and woke up in this body. The freaky part is that I’ve been able to use most of my abilities unconsciously, despite how I should have no clue how to use them… or even walk, considering how different my biology is.”

“Tell me, what were you before?”

“Well… since you probably have no clue what a human is, lemme explain it to you. basically, a mostly bald, tailless monkey.”

“You believe you were a bald, tailless monkey?”

“Yes, I was a human.”

“Humans, the mythological creatures of conflict?”

“...wait, humanity is a myth here?”

“Indeed. The myth about humans is not the most positive. Competitive, egotistical and would always be caught is some war, either with themselves or one of the other races that populate this planet. Always trying to make sure the world saw them and never looked down at them. But only when they were grouped together, individually they were about the same as the minutars of the eastern islands. Still quite prideful but much more willing to listen to reason.”

“...” ’get her out.’ I watched as she suddenly clutched her head, before beginning to fade, no doubt taken off guard by the hive minds sudden attempt to push her out.

...now why is my face we-


“Gah!” I sputtered and hacked, having accidentally inhaled some of whatever had gotten on my face, and saw Peeko standing right in front of me, trying to look innocent despite having her tongue hanging out. I turned to trixie. “Did you get the energy?”

“Do not question my greatness, that nopony thats been messing with you had no chance at all.” She said, holding up a gem with a soft blue glow coming from its center.

“Excellent… you wouldn't happen to know a soundproofing spell, would you? I’m going to need some privacy for this next part. you could its a nightmare to get right...”
